He started life as a white science geek living with his uncle.

But now to reflect the racial changes in America Spider Man has been given a makeover - as a half black half Latino teen.

Miles Morales has replaced Peter Parker as the face behind the famous webbed mask, Marvel Comics has revealed.

In the latest edition of the Ultimate Fallout series he pulls back the disguise and shows his face for the first time.

Fans will have to wait until the official Spider Man relaunch next month to find out how he came to be the superhero.

But another surprise could be in the pipeline after his creators said that in the future they would not rule out making him gay.

Btw, I am a minority half Latino and half white and I’m sick of this affirmative action bullshit. The real spiderman is a white guy and bangs a hot red headed woman named MJ, not a gay guy who played basketball at Duke named Reggie.

What if they could make Spider-Man a half-black, half-gay, half-Christian Spock-like assistant lecturer.

Whoa, watch it bro, I’m one of this dorks that likes to read an occasional comic, and I hold down a job, and don’t live in my mom’s basement. Seriously, my kids will probably like superheros like I did when I was growing up it’s fun, but when Marvel starts to pull this crap (making characters gay) it makes me sick to my stomach and makes me want to not give these losers any of my money.

Tell me more about the real-life Spider-Man! I’ve never gotten to meet him, is he really a nice guy or is it all an act?

Ultimate Nick Fury was made black so that they can get Samuel L. Jackson to play him in the Avengers movie. Samuel L. Jackson is a major fanboy of Marvel and really wanted to play Nick Fury, so he gave Marvel permission to make Ultimate Nick Fury look like him.

It was a Win for both...

Won't last. There are certain things that must always be true in comics. One of them is that Peter Parker is Spiderman. Anyone else is just another hero with similar powers. Only one got bitten by a radioactive spider.

You could someone else wear Iron Man's armor (and they have), and you can give the Hulk Bruce Banner's intelligence, and you can even put someone else in Cap'n America's outfit during the time he was frozen in ice, but Peter Parker is Spiderman.

Accept no imitations.

By the way, not that anyone here will care: the Amazing Spiderman never died and is not being replaced.

The Ultimate Spiderman, which was a comic reboot, which didn't catch on much, was the one who died. It's an entirely separate comic-book universe.

Like "Never Say Never Again" with Connery as Bond, when Roger Moore was the "real" Bond.

Why don't they just begin with the premise that multiverse theory is correct.

Then they can have a different Spiderman ... er ... person for each universe.

They could have lesbian Spiderwomen (lipstick and dyke), Chinese, Russian, Venezuelan, differently abled, senior citizen, etc.

Why just stick with two? Doesn't anyone have an imagination anymore?
